Compassionate Inquiry is a somatic approach in revealing unconscious patterns embedded in thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and beliefs. These are often formed early in life. However, they may still be influencing you in personal strategies that no longer serve you today.
Being able to connect to the felt-sense of your present body experience can support you in becoming aware of what is not conscious. This awareness is the beginning in accessing your innate wisdom and knowing your true self.
My offering of the Compassionate Inquiry approach can support you in connecting to the best version of yourself by:
- Becoming aware of unconscious patterns that are driving your life.
- Exploring a pathway to free yourself from limiting thoughts and beliefs.
- Cultivating awareness of sensations and emotions in the body.
- Re-parenting yourself through self-compassion.
What my clients are experiencing
Sarah
“The Compassionate Inquiry sessions were extremely helpful. Marina was brilliant at attuning with me and giving me space – yet not leaving me alone in it.”
Kristen
“I felt a deep sense of trust and safety with Marina from my very first session and was really impressed and surprised at how effective Compassionate Inquiry (CI) could be with someone who clearly knows what they’re doingoration so far, very much appreciated! […] Marina brings wisdom, depth, and a grounded presence that gently guides each session rooted in her innate sense of compassion which allows the session to feel natural and progressive. Her work invites truth and healing to unfold naturally. I’ve found it life changing and I’m so grateful to have been able to connect with Marina to do this work.”
Crystal
“Marina holds a warm and caring space where I felt truly seen and heard. It was such a relief I didn’t have to explain or hide what I was feeling. I could just be with my uncomfortable emotions and not feel alone in them. There was no pressure to fix anything, just a calm, steady presence that helped me feel safe enough to go deeper. Her guidance helped me gain a clearer sense of direction that felt authentic to me”
“The purpose of compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go those stories have on them …”
